How to Pick a Holiday Garland for a Dorm Room
Measure the Desk or Door You Have
Measure the desk or door you have before you pick a garland. A 7 foot garland fits a desk, while a 10 foot garland needs a door or wall. Measure the spot first so the garland fits.
Choose Battery Power to Skip the Outlet
Choose battery power to skip the outlet when you shop. A garland with 3 AA batteries hangs anywhere, while a plug-in garland needs a socket. Pick battery power for a cordless desk.
Count the Lights on the Garland
Count the lights on the garland before you buy it. A garland with 20 lights gives a soft glow, while a garland with 50 lights shines brighter. Pick a light count that fits your room.
Look for a Remote or Timer
Look for a remote or timer when you compare garlands. A remote lets you change modes from your desk, while a timer turns the lights off for you. Pick the control that suits your routine.
Store the Garland After the Holidays End
Store the garland after the holidays end. A 7 foot garland fits a small box, and a 10 foot garland needs a flat spot. Pack it flat so it is ready next year.
